KIX EMAP Knowledge Cafés

Knowledge Cafés

The KIX EMAP Knowledge Cafés bring together sub-regional experts for an informal and collaborative conversation, designed to foster open dialogue and knowledge exchange on topics of mutual interest. They are planned as recurring bi-monthly events.

The Knowledge Café events are facilitated by the sub-region’s Knowledge Lead. They are structured in a way that allows everyone to participate and contribute their insights. Participants are encouraged to enjoy their coffees in an informal online setting and share short updates about their work, research, projects, proposals for funding, partnerships, conferences, networking and more.
